90's Commercials Vol. 162

These commercials aired on ABC on September 18th, 1993
1. McDonald's (With Field Trip Adventure Happy Meal Toys)
2. Jurassic Park Command Compound (I had most of the action figures/dinosaurs/vehicles but never got the compound. My "playset" was a big rock we had in our backyard. I love the "Speak & Spell" voice it has LOL)
3. Youth Plus "Readasaurus" PSA (Wow, a follow up to the "Dinosaur Report" posted in: • 80's Commercials Vol. ... )
4. Promo for "Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa" ("Totally cool mutant anthropomorphic cows riding horses!" You know, as weird as the premise of TMNT was, its weirdness seemed natural and organic and not contrived. I can't say the same for the many copycats made around this time)
5. "After These Messages" Commercial Bumpers
6. Western Stampin' Barbie (LOL)
7. Apple Jacks (With Larisa Oleynik. And Darkwing Duck Motorcycle Flashlight!)
8. SpaghettiOs
9. Time For Timer PSA
10. "After These Messages" Commercial Bumpers
11. "Cro" End Credits
12. ABC Station ID
14. Promo for "Fast Forward" ("GRUNGE")
15. WXYZ Station ID
16. "After These Messages" Commercial Bumper
17. EZ 2 Do
18. "After These Messages" Commercial Bumpers
19. Chef Boyardee Dinosaurs Pasta (A classic from the late 80's that seems to have aired till around '95)
20. Lego Castle (After being stuck with the same knight mini figures for years, the Dragon and Wizard figures were amazing at the time)
21. Promo for "Sonic The Hedgehog"
22. "After These Messages" Commercial Bumpers
23. Kellogg's Good Breakfast PSA
24. Baby Giggles 'n Go (Wow, those legs are so realistic looking!)
25. McDonald's
26. 2-XL (This is clearly just a daydream of the younger brother, longing for the day when his older brother will accept him. I'm legitimately curious what the "Monsters" category entailed)
27. "After These Messages" Commercial Bumpers
28. Fantastic Roses Rose Making Set (Or you could go outside and grow real flowers. I totally remembered that ♫MAADDDEE BY MEEEEE♫ jingle)
29. Hot Wheels Key Force ("THE EVIL LIMO" LOL)
30. Follow The Rules PSA
31. "Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa" End Credits

thanks for posting this. for the people that remember the era its a nice nostalgia trip but for younger generations its an interesting view of the period.

[@SorcererLance]

man, I remember as a kid being so hyped about the upcoming Sonic cartoons (AoStH and SatAM premiered together if I recall) and I wondered how his voice was gonna be like... it was an interesting choice having the kid who played Steve Urkel

[@chriscarpenter6889]

...did I seriously just watch almost 3 hours worth of 80s and 90s commercials, plus the best of max headroom...

[@juliuswright6275]

Nothing wrong that, i miss the 90s

[@frostybootyo]

Eridan Ampora I'm about an hour in myself right now. I just can't stop.

[@trillfa9774]

Chris Carpenter yeah man it bes like that sometimes. There was a certain charm and uniqueness about the commercials, music, shows and movies, and trends back then that just can’t be matched and unfortunately we’ll never have that again.

[@Silvergun_Raven]

I had most of those Jurassic Park action figures. I miss the advertising of toys from the 90's -- so much :(

[@trillfa9774]

Giga Force I feel you I miss everything about that time. If only we had the technology that we have now then it would’ve damn near been perfect.

[@mrmotown313]

I believe my favorite character from the Wild West cowboys of Moomesa was Dakota. I liked him because he always said yup and nope almost close to sounding like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh.

[@TTrigg]

RE: Jurassic Park toys.. Fox was planning to do a animated series(possibly for primetime..?) but it never got off the ground

[@80sCommercialVault]

+TTrigg There's some cool concept art for it here: www.polygon.com/2015/8/20/9183483/jurassic-park-tie-in-cartoon-we-never-got

[@SagaSagaVGM]

Damn... So that's where "MADE BY ME!" comes from (I thought it was from the Mid-Nineties Easy-Bake Oven revival, just could never find the commercial to prove it.), another deep subconscious quote memory solved.

[@poponachtschnecke]

This makes me feel so old ;_;

[@yusakug]

The Jurassic Park Command Center toy commercial claims that computer can say over 100 things. I really have a hard time picturing that. I mean, there's only so many ways you can say "Oh my God, look out for that dinosaur coming at us!!", before it just gets repetitive.

[@80sCommercialVault]

+yusakug It really did say a lot of phrases: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpLWY5aMrpysn7Mm30s

[@Boomska316]

Man, I remember the classic Lego sets from before they started licensing every property in site.

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

So I'm guessing that the kid in the last commercial, if he hadn't started reading books, probably would've become like Stoop Kid from Hey Arnold?

[@danielferstendig]

bump in the night started out as bumpers.

[@themutantages]

Wow, I forgot about that paper rose maker machine.

[@sarahmcmann5253]

I love Schoolhouse Rock

[@DarthKorrin]

ironically enough it's on Disney plus now

[@GrowinupinSincity81]

"The Evil Limo" really would have livened up my prom night. Key Force!

[@hrtvfan2870]

Had no idea ABC was still using the Time for Timer spots. Maybe they brought that back around the time that production of Schoolhouse Rock segments returned.

[@80sCommercialVault]

+HRTVFan2 I posted this one that aired in 1994 awhile back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKebp52cpdqGr5Im2s

[@jtb811]

Ads for two of my favorite cartoons for the era. I loved cowboys of moo mesa and Sonic Satam if I remember correctly there was a live action cowboy show at the same time that also only lasted a season. I remember it was on at about the time i started to get tired of watching cartoons and went to go play with my toys.

[@84MadHatter]

For me at 9 - 10 and going into summer of 1993 to 1994 first year my home had cable and a TV in my room was the start, and here one of my favorites sonic the hedgehog

[@andrejg4136]

@@84MadHatter I think the "Whole New Level Of Fun" promo package for ABC SatAm at this point was one of the best of the whole era to me, like late 90s Fox Kids and Kids WB are at the top, but there are a lot of good ones. Too bad the programs were kinda here or there sometimes, I dunno. I LOVED ABCs Sonic SatAM, convinced me to finally read the Archie comics. I'm honestly glad I did even if the later Penders era went off the rails hard in some regard.

[@DrewberTravels]

6:45 Why did they always say the first one to *BLANK* wins in every commercial. lol.

[@kittygaillot2286]

At least there wasn’t a kid screaming “I win!“

[@josephsanti6219]

Leather chaps on Ken. Hah.

[@DanZero77]

I still get a kick out of the WXYZ pinball ID. MUCH better than what we had on WABC In 1993, all we'd get for IDs is "It's never too early to learn to read." Look at Saturday morning videos uploaded by Darian Sewell to get an idea. In my mind, the only Sonic The Hedgehog that mattered was the daily syndicated series, not the SatAM version. Damn right limos are evil! All sorts of nasty people ride in those things!

[@goldcherry103]

Darian Sewell has great uploads for 80s and 90's cartoons and commercials. Similar to this channel also.

[@Spikeelsucko]

8 year old me couldn't have disagreed more, PINGAS sonic gave us so many great things to meme with, but the SatAM series actually had a continuing plot and I think the "heavier" plot and character development appealed to me more than the much lighter and simpler daily. The first 3 games (2 at the time) always had this sort of edge and were rarely 'funny' outright and the syndicated series was quite "Looney Tunes"-ish, seemed odd to me.

[@Souper13]

Apple Jacks sucked and I didn't like their commercials, But I sure liked watching it 20 plus years later.

[@alonzowashington8051]

What? Apple Jack milk?! C'mon...

[@DrewberTravels]

5:13 Grunnnnnnnge

[@rsdaddy141]

Jurassic Park toys were so much cooler then the humans in the movie.lol

[@80sCommercialVault]

+rsdaddy141 I always thought it was weird as a kid that Muldoon was turned into action figure man™: i.imgur.com/TAxBzUU.jpg and Dennis Nedry (an overweight man wearing loud clothing) was turned into generic man in turtleneck wearing sunglasses: i.imgur.com/Vs2Etin.jpg.

[@Spikeelsucko]

@@80sCommercialVault at least muldoon makes sense in context, its not as clear where nedry got his nice leather chest holster and sidearm however

[@80sCommercialVault]

I'm now pretty sure that the action figures were based primarily on pre-production storyboards and concept art, which is why some of them look nothing remotely like the actors that were eventually cast...or in the case of Tim Murphy, not even the correct age.
